Hallmark’s mid-year celebration of all things merry and bright continues with the premiere of another holiday movie: Take Me Back for Christmas. Last week gave us a classic holiday movie with a royal theme, and this week we’re getting a good old “what if my life was completely different” kind of romance.
In Take Me Back for Christmas, Vanessa Lengies plays Renée a wife on the edge of a nervous breakdown until a chance encounter with an elf (real or fake — TBD!) allows her to relive her life on her own terms. This time around, she’s a big shot CEO — but she’s also single. Is this life really better than the one she had? And is it possible to win over her former husband in this reality? Can Renée have it all??
